Excellent game, but it needs to be harder. i have played two full seasons and my round average for 200 rounds is 52.1 lets make a game to challenge the real golfers. 4 round tournament record -88 at st. andrews.

Hey listen, this game is sweet. really impressive graphics and lots of courses and golfers. the hook of the game is, no daubt...the 'game-face' feature, where you can play god and make people from scratch. i have made myself, which is freaky to see how much he looks like me. i also made a really ugly lady, which is just plain old sick fun. also lots of things to buy, from apparelHey listen, this game is sweet. really impressive graphics and lots of courses and golfers. the hook of the game is, no daubt...the 'game-face' feature, where you can play god and make people from scratch. i have made myself, which is freaky to see how much he looks like me. i also made a really ugly lady, which is just plain old sick fun. also lots of things to buy, from apparel to golf related items. sooo, let's talk about the GAME shall we?...because all this stuff above are like "extra" fun arent they?...yes they are, and the golf engine i am sad to say is not very impressive, simply and plainly because they have skipped the precision swing difficulty the previous games had. meaning, when you use your thumbstick to swing, it's all a perfect shot each time. so all you need to do to beat your opponents is smartly measure the wind and distance on the long shots and pay attention to your green curve while putting. baaaah!. this quickly becomes boring, no matter how many crazy golfers you create and no matter what crazy course you are on, the game is predictable somehow...its just easy. what makes me give a 9 for this game stands on the whole package design and features that makes you come back for more. the courses are just mind blowing...it really feels like you are there, playing golf with tiger and other guys who one ever cares about. to be able to make clones of your friends in a CGI world is like a game by itself. definetally a buy and a nice "zen" title for your xbox library. later kids....…Expand

2003 is the best game I've ever played. Unfortunately I think 2004 takes a backward step from that although it is still a fantastic golf game. I'm dissapointed with the audio in the new version. The commentary doesn't blend together well and the american accent gets annoying very easily. Also the soundtrack provided is a real let down..fortunately you can add your own.

The game face function is amazing, you can change just about every aspect of the human body imaginable. The gameplay is slightly better, as the ball feels heavier and doesn't spin the ridiculous amounts like in 2003. All in all TW2004 is a solid game but it could have done with some more work on the menus and audio. Maybe the release was rushed a bit too much? …Expand

This relaxed, arcade-like approach makes for something that's not so much about simulation, but more emulation; letting you thwack the ball with all the verve of an expert, without the worry of any homework. Fun, then, and lots of it. [Nov 2003, p.107]

Imitating a swing with the analogue stick is still as satisfying as ever, and the balance between control and room for error is nigh-on perfect. However, it would have been nice to see a few more changes to keep the experience fresh. [Oct 2003, p.122]
